Low-Carb Halloween
You've been doing great eating low carb, but what to do when Halloween comes around? Do you have the fortitude to keep your mitts out of the candy bowl? Here are some tips to help you make it through Halloween sugar-free.
| Easy Sugar-Free Fudge
This chocolate-peanut butter fudge is made with no cooking and few ingredients. You can easily vary how sweet it is to your own taste.
| Chocolate Rum (or non-rum) Balls
You can whip these treats up in 5 minutes. Vary the amount and kind of liquor to taste -- if you cut down, just replace the rest with water, or sugar-free flavored syrup.

Anyone who has looked at many of my sugar-free recipes which include chocolate has seen the ingredient "powdered erythritol". What is this? It is the only sugar alcohol that quite reliably has very little impact on blood glucose. I have found that including erythritol as at least some of the sweetener in chocolate recipes really improves the flavor and texture over other sugar substitutes. Note: Get powdered, not granulated!!
